| 41 | +### Subscription Management | |
| 42 | + | |
| 43 | +Every subscription on your online store is managed from one place. See who is active and who is about to renew, then change a billing cycle, switch a plan or cancel on a customer's behalf without leaving WordPress. Customers get the same subscription management tools in their account area, so most routine changes never reach your inbox. | |
| 44 | + | |
| 45 | +Subscription management also covers the quieter side of recurring billing: activity logs for every subscription, renewal order history, and email notifications that fire automatically at each stage of the subscription lifecycle. | |
| 46 | + | |
| 47 | +### Recurring Billing & Payment Gateways | |
| 48 | + | |
| 49 | +Recurring billing runs on a schedule you choose — daily, weekly, monthly or yearly — and charges automatically at the start of each cycle. **Stripe and PayPal recurring payments are included in this free plugin**, so credit card renewals are taken without anyone touching an order. | |
| 50 | + | |
| 51 | +Stripe payments cover the usual credit card work on their own: cards are charged on schedule, failed payments are retried, and customers can update an expired credit card without your help. Further payment gateway options — Mollie, Razorpay and Xendit — are available in the Pro version, and Paddle recurring billing is supported through the separate WP SmartPay plugin. | |
| 52 | + | |
| 53 | +### Installment Payments | |
| 54 | + | |
| 55 | +Not every product suits an ongoing subscription. Installment payments let a customer pay for a one-off purchase across a fixed number of charges, on whatever schedule you set, and the plugin stops billing automatically once the final payment clears. It is the same recurring billing engine, limited to a payment count you define. | |
| 56 | + | |
| 57 | +This makes expensive items easier to sell on a small online store without adding a third-party financing service or a separate payment gateway. | |
